4.18. Push handles
The push handles can be adjusted to a higher or lower position to
enable an assistant to push the wheelchair more comfortably.
The cross brace can be removed to facilitate upward or downward
adjustment. Simply loosen the push handle levers accordingly:
Loosen the lever screws (Fig. 39) on the push handles and place them
at the desired height. Then re-tighten the lever screws to lock the push
handles in place.
Repeat this procedure on the other side. Always ensure the push
handles are set at the same height. There is an outer scale you can use
to check the height adjustment.
The alignment of the lever screws can be adjusted if they project to the
side: pull the plastic lever towards you. It can then be moved in this
position without altering the screw position.
Reassemble the cross brace and ensure it is firmly attached.
4.19. Therapy table (optional)
•
The Protego wheelchair can be equipped with a therapy tray
(Fig. 41).
•
Loosen the plastic screw located on the bushing of the slide bar for
the therapy tray (Fig. 42).
•
Loosen the screws connected to both guide rails which are on the
underside of the tray.
•
Adjust the distance of the guard rails to the width of the free
sockets in the armrests.
•
Move the guide rails of the therapy tray into the bushings of the
slide bars on the armrests. Make sure that you place the therapy
tray over the padding of the armrest.
•
Secure the therapy tray by tightly screwing on the knob screws
(Fig. 42).
•
The height of the tray can be adjusted. To do this, please review the
instructions on adjusting the height of the side panels.
•
The tray can also be adjusted horizontally. To do this, loosen the
knob screws, put the tray in the desired position for the patient and
then re-tighten the knob screws.
4.20. Lap belt (optional)
There is also an optional lap belt available; it secures wheelchair users
who do not have the stability required for sitting in a wheelchair
(Fig. 43).
•
The Protego wheelchair can be equipped with a seat belt for the
pelvis.
•
Use the buckle to open and close the belt.
•
The length of the belt can be adjusted using the movable latch on
the belt.
